点评:We were in Costa Rica staying at a resort. It would have been a shame to just stay on campus and miss out on all the beauty and nature that Costa Rica has to offer. The resort offered tours, they seemed ok, but we wanted something that felt more local, less touristy and corporate. After a few frustrating days of searching around, we went with Pura Vida Tours…basically because they were willing to adapt the tour to our requests. And boy are we glad we did! We did the La Leona Waterfall, tubing and hot springs. They arranged transportation to and from the resort. The hike to the waterfall was fun, educational and exciting. We ran into a lot of other groups, and ours seemed to be having more fun. Randal really knew his way around, and the other guides were always talking to him. Turns out we were with the person who put a lot of the trails, ropes, ladders and the ropes to the waterfall in. The hike was fun, the waterfall itself was breathtaking. Randal helped my family get the best pictures! We hiked back and went Tubing. It was really fun, and if the water level is high enough, take the big jump!! Then we had a great lunch at a nearby restaurant before going to the hot springs. Randal walked in like he owned the place, new everyone, explained ever step of the way; sauna, mud treatment (thanks Picasso), jump in the Colorodo and then the Hot Springs. We did all that and were back safely for dinner. I highly recommend Pura Vida, it was more than just a tour…he made if fun, interesting and personal.
翻译:我们当时在哥斯达黎加的一家度假村入住。如果仅仅待在度假村里而错过哥斯达黎加的绝美风光与自然景色,那就太可惜了。那家度假村也提供旅游服务,看起来还不错,但我们更希望体验一些更具本地特色、少些商业化和旅游团气息的活动。经过几天令人沮丧的寻找后,我们最终选择了Pura Vida Tours……主要是因为他们愿意根据我们的需求来调整行程。我们真的庆幸自己做了这个选择!我们参加了拉莱奥纳瀑布之旅。管状滑道与温泉。他们安排了往返度假村的交通工具。前往瀑布的徒步之旅既有趣、富有教育意义又令人兴奋。我们遇到了很多其他旅行团,而我们这一团似乎玩得最开心。兰德尔对这里了如指掌,其他导游也总是和他交谈。后来才知道,正是他修建了很多步道、绳索、梯子以及通往瀑布的设施。这次徒步十分有趣,而瀑布本身更是美得令人惊叹。Randal帮助我的家人拍到了最棒的照片!我们徒步返回后还去玩了漂流。真的非常有趣,如果水位够高的话,还可以来个大跳跃哦!!之后我们在附近的餐厅享用了美味的午餐,接着便前往温泉区。Randal走进去时自信满满,仿佛这里是他的地盘一般;他向我们一一介绍了每个环节:桑拿、泥疗(多谢Picasso的介绍啦)、跳进科罗拉多河,最后就是泡温泉。我们完成了所有这些活动后,安全返回并享用了晚餐。我强烈推荐Pura Vida。这不仅仅是一趟游览……他让整个过程变得有趣、引人入胜且充满个人色彩。
